GEARHART WATER DEPARTMENT is one of 203 community water systems in Oregon in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,780 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 11 entries between 1991 and 2018, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2018.

Of the 11, 10 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves the Total Coliform Rules, the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Surface Water Treatment Rules.
